Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed four sales tax bills (House Bills 4540, 4541, 4542, 4543) yesterday (Dec 12) codifying the state’s sales tax on remote sellers and mandating collection and remittance of sales tax from online marketplaces for goods sold through their websites.
Previously, the Michigan Department of Treasury issued Revenue Administrative Bulletin 2018-16 on August 1, 2018, which as of October 1, 2018, required businesses with no physical presence in the state to register with the tax department, collect and remit sales or use tax, and file returns if, in the previous calendar year, they made more than $100,000 in taxable or non-taxable sales into the state, or at least 200 separate taxable or non-taxable transactions.
